For a while i had longings to do an ascent of the North face of the Scheidegg Wetterhorn (neighbour to the eiger). It hadnt had a British ascent as far as i could tell in the late 90's, early 2000's. It looked like total adventure, but i got sucked into the obsession with its more well known neighbour and never ventured onto it.

Either anything on the Freney Face so that I would have climbed on every every face and ridge on Mont Blanc, or the N.Face of the Droites because I went up to do it eight times in the eighties but never got it done and it's bugged me ever since.

The Direct was done early 90's by a couple of mates from Cumbria ( at the time ).

They had a bit of an epic, no wonder its route 100 in Extreme Alpine Rock.

I think the other route further right has had a few more British ascents.

Looking from the base a few years ago the 1923? original route does not look an easy option. Amazing route for the day.

I can vouch for the 1938 route being awesome.. There's not much in condition out here at the moment by the sounds of it.
Perhaps some big link ups on ridges as jonnie said would be good if we have some stable weather.

As a man with a little girl creating lots of fun but giving little time, it's more realistic ticks than ultimate ticks for me so this year hopefully fil a plomb and eugster direct to get up the front face above chamonix on an icy technical line which has been a wish for a couple of years, let down so far by weather on my week away!
